Product details
Overview
LTC7149IFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 60V, 4A synchronous monolithic step-down regulator configured for inverting output applications, delivering –28V to 0V output with ±0.8% voltage accuracy, 92% efficiency at 12VIN/–5VOUT, and peak current mode control. It integrates 110mΩ top/50mΩ bottom N-channel MOSFETs and supports programmable switching frequency (300kHz–3MHz) via external RT resistor.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7149IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7149IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC7149IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its board-ground-referenced I/O pins (RUN, MODE/SYNC, PGOOD), single-resistor VOUT programming via ISET, Burst Mode® vs forced continuous mode trade-offs, and thermal performance in the 28-lead TSSOP package with exposed SVOUT– pad.
Technical Context
The LTC7149IFE#TRPBF implements a peak current mode architecture with internal level-shifted I/O, enabling direct board GND referencing for RUN, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD despite negative output operation. Its error amplifier uses ISET as positive input and VOUTSNS as negative input, with 50µA reference current setting VOUT– = –50µA × RSET.
Switching frequency is set by RT-to-SVOUT– resistor (300kHz–3MHz, ±50% sync range), while MODE/SYNC selects Burst Mode (440µA quiescent current) or forced continuous mode (low ripple). Input voltage regulation (VINREG) and overvoltage lockout (64V threshold) provide system-level protection.

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic TSSOP (4mm × 5mm footprint, exposed SVOUT– thermal pad on underside).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT– (Pins 1–5) | Negative output return | Primary power return node; all internal references tied to this potential |
| VIN (Pins 6,7) | Input supply input | Accepts 3.4V–60V; powers internal LDOs and high-side driver |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Enable control input | Logic-high threshold 1.2V; resistor divider from VIN sets accurate undervoltage turn-on |
| GND (Pin 9) | Board ground sense | Provides local ground reference for internal circuitry and level-shifting |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 10) | Operating mode select | GND = Burst Mode; floating = forced continuous; external clock = sync mode |
| PGOOD (Pin 11) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VPGDFB < 0.555V or > 0.645V relative to VOUT– |
| PGDFB (Pin 12) | Feedback for PGOOD | Resistor divider from GND to VOUT– sets PGOOD trip thresholds |
| VINREG (Pin 14) | Input voltage regulation sense | Programs input undervoltage limit; tie to INTVCC to disable |
| RT (Pin 15) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to SVOUT– programs fSW; 100kΩ yields ~1MHz |
| VOUTSNS (Pin 16) | Error amp negative input | Tied to GND in standard config; enables tracking or remote sensing |
| ISET (Pin 17) | Output voltage programming | 50µA sink; RSET to VOUT– sets VOUT– = –50µA × RSET |
| ITH (Pin 18) | Error amp output/compensation | Voltage controls peak inductor current; tie to INTVCC for internal compensation |
| EXTVCC (Pin 19) | External LDO input | Reduces power loss when >3.2V above VOUT–; tie to GND for –3.3V or lower outputs |
| INTVCC (Pin 20) | Internal LDO output | 3.3V above VOUT–; bypass with ≥2.2µF ceramic to VOUT– |
| BOOST (Pin 21) | High-side gate driver supply | Bootstrap capacitor (0.1µF) between BOOST and SW enables N-MOSFET drive |
| SW (Pins 22–28) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave; requires tight layout |
| SVOUT– (Pins 13,29) | Exposed thermal pad | Mandatory solder connection to PCB copper plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Board GND-referenced I/O | RUN, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD operate referenced to PCB ground - eliminates need for level shifters in negative-rail systems |
| Single-resistor VOUT programming | ISET pin sinks precise 50µA - output voltage set by one external resistor (VOUT– = –50µA × RSET) |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor from ISET to VOUT– controls ramp rate - prevents inrush current during startup into pre-biased loads |
| Accurate input voltage regulation | VINREG pin senses input droop - reduces peak inductor current when VIN falls below programmed threshold |
| Integrated MOSFETs | 110mΩ high-side + 50mΩ low-side N-channel switches - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC7149IFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 64V, with a recommended operating range of 3.4V to 60V. Exceeding 60V may trigger VIN overvoltage lockout (64V threshold), suspending switching until VIN drops below 62V. This rating enables compatibility with 48V telecom and industrial bus systems while maintaining safety margin.
How is the output voltage programmed on the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC7149IFE#TRPBF uses a precise 50µA current sink on the ISET pin to program VOUT– = –50µA × RSET, where RSET connects from ISET to VOUT–. For example, a 100kΩ resistor sets –5V output. This single-resistor method eliminates feedback dividers and simplifies design versus traditional VFB-based regulators.
Does the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven by an external clock, the internal oscillator locks within ±50% of the programmed RT-set frequency. Proper RT selection is required to ensure the external clock falls within this capture range for reliable synchronization.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF in TSSOP package?
The LTC7149IFE#TRPBF's 28-lead TSSOP package features an exposed SVOUT– pad (Pin 29) that must be soldered to a PCB copper plane for thermal conduction. With θJA = 30°C/W, adequate copper area and vias to internal ground planes are essential to maintain junction temperature ≤125°C under 4A load, especially at high input-output differentials.
Can the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF operate with a pre-biased output?
Yes, the LTC7149IFE#TRPBF supports startup into a pre-biased VOUT–. It remains in Burst Mode and keeps power switches off until the ISET voltage ramps up to match VOUTSNS, then begins controlled switching. This prevents reverse current flow and ensures safe, monotonic startup without output voltage overshoot.
